WITHOUT A RIVAL.

Late dispatches from the Coast noted
at least three active volcanoes III
Arizona, and fears were expressed in
some quarters that the special attrac-
tions of KiIauea might be ecipsed by
these later outbreaks. Dispatches OF
the 9Th instant, however, set that mat
ter at rest. 1t will be remembered that
volcanic fire was reported as visible
from Tucson in the Santa Rita range.
The following dispatch, however, DIS
poses of that imaginary volcano:
Tucson "a. IT,. May Standardization
discIoses that no volcano exists at points
reported or elsewhere in Arizona, SO far as
known News from the Sulphur Springs
Valley says over 100 new springs are run
ming and there are large streams since the
earthquake where there were no signs OF
water before. One great spring burst forth
from the mountain side and Is running
continually. Some of the valley springs
squirt up two or three feet above the sur
face. A lake up San Pedro Valley has
disappeared.
The earthquakes have therefore been
of great benefit to the country. Resi-
dents and property owners in the earth
quake zone can very we'll afford to lose
a few adobe houses, which were shaken
about their ears, in exchange for run
ming brooks and streams of Giving water
in a dry and parched land" Arizona
was the seat of ancient empire. 1t was
densely populated, the remains of irri-
CATION works from prehistoric times
found there bearing evidence of the fact.
But under the murderous sway OF the
Red Man it has become dried and
shriveled up, although the vast Toltec
ruins of Casa Grande, and the
ruined Churches of the early
Spanish period of occupation, fur
nish evidence of it's populousness and
affluence at two very distant epochs in
it's history. 1t is now slowly filling up,
and if water can be obtained Arizona
will once more become entitled to be
styled seat of empire.
From Benson, Arizona, on May 9Th,
similar report is made regarding the vol
canic phenomena described during the
excitement of the earthquake tremors.
The investigation party which was sent
from Fort Huachuca reports that the APP
parent disturbance seen for the past two
days in the Milestone mountains is
nothing but wood fires, still many par
ties claim that volcanic eruptions are in
existence in the San Jose mountains.
Doubtless the United States officers who
investigated the matter brought back a
correct report. Forest fires are common
enough in that region. The officers
think the fire was originated by flint
rocks detached by the earthquake. On
May 9Th severe earth tremors were felt
at Fort Huachuca, and rumbling noises
were also heard there.
1t follows from these reports that
American tourists cannot stop short of
the Hawaiian Islands if they want to
view the spectacle of volcanic action.
The crater of Kilauea is still the largest
active volcano in the world. It's wierd
desolation and grandeur have no rivals
known to man.

The Lime Kiln Club.


Waydown Bebee submitted his report on
prize poetry. The club has received 800
poems, all composed by colored people. The
subjects were classified as follows:
Spring, Fall, Winter,
Old Year, New Year, Last Year,
Love, Thunder, Women.
Upon critical examination the poetic COM
mittee came to the conclusion that 315 of the
poems were stolen more or less bodily from
Longfellow, SAKE, Moore, etc. These were at
once sold by the pound for the benefit of the
relief fund of the club. OF the remaining five
poems three were rejected for faulty rhythm,
and another was found to have been sub
mitted last year. The one taking the prize
was composed by Col. Snowfall johnson, of
Alabama: "My Heart is Ever Sad" The
first verse runs as follows:
In de good ole long ago, way down in Tennessee,
had leetle cabin by de hill
An when de day was done, an my chillen came
to me-
Oar was joy an happiness huff to kill
CHORUS
But de chillen all am gone an de cabins torn
away,
An my dear ole wife am seepin' meath de sod;
An rze trabblin' all alone on de weary path of
life,
An my limbs am CROWN weaker as plod.
The prize is a S. gold piece, and for fear
that the winner might be tempted to spend it,
a couple of holes were punched in the coin.--

mitted before witness that he was not

600 1t. Cotton TaiI!"

There were numbers of old Confederate
soldiers at the Southern society banquet, who,
like all soldiers, were fuG,of stories and re-
miniscences. A Mississippi veteran, who was
at Shiloh, related that as firing began at the
break of day huge rabbit jumped from the
underbrush near his regiment and rushed
away to the rear, displaying an amplitude of
white fur that might have served for flag of
truce if the animal had gone into the Union
lines. By the story tellers side was another
Mississippi man, who, as he saw the rabbit
scampering away, shouted out: go it,
Molly Cotton Tail. If it wasn't for my char
acter I'd be with New York Tribune.

RAN AWAY TO MARRY.
An EIoping Couple Waiting in Sa-

An EIoping Couple Waiting in sa-
yanuah for their Baggage.
Last Friday morning young couple ar
rived In Savannah over the Charleston
and Savannah railroad, and were driven
to well-known boarding house on
Broughton street. They maintained a
mysterious reserve until yesterday, when
it was learned that they had eloped from
Camden, s. c., last week, and came here
by way of Charleston. The bride was a
Miss DeSaussuTe of prominent Caro-
lima family, and the groom is a Mr.. Par
ish, also OF good family.
The particulars of the elopement were
not learned. but as frequently happens,
the young couple did not make any
elaborate preparations for the trip and
had to hurry of without baggage. Ever
since they have been here they have been
back. Neither was sure about the recep-
ton they would be rendered. and they pre-
ierred to wait here until they hear
whether til old folks will forgive them.
The objection seems to have been on ac-
count OF their youth, both seemingly be-
ing under 20.
Yesterday the groom's mother sur
prised the couple by calling on them. and
made them happy by promising them her
pardon. AS soon as the fair brides family
does the same the couples honeymoon
will become as serene as a summer sky
and as blissful as mortal existence can

He CANT See 1t.

Editor Morning Nelgs 1 have read
the answer of "CItizen," but cannot see
how it meets the principle L laid down,
which was that the guilt or innocence of
the accused should be determined solely
by the evidence adduced on the trial, and
that eXtraneous knowledge of jurymen
should not affect the verdict. Citizen"
gives as an instance to support his view
that there was conflict of testimony. L
cannot see that that touches the question.
The jury are sole judges Of the credibility
of witnesses, and in conflict Of tes-
timony they may discard and adopt what
testimony they wish. But they nave no
right, when the State fails to make out its
case. TO supply the testimony necessary
to convict from their own personal knowl-
edge, LAWYER.
